I'll be 42 in two weeks...that makes me 21--again.

Much success finding others to hang out with. A positive group of people will do you a lot of good!

Hi there. My name is Rachel and I'm 23 I live in Queen Creek AZ and was banded on November 5, 2007. I always like meeting new people and having someone to talk to who knows what I'm going through is even better!

Later!:redface:

Hey JennyLynn, I live in Glendale, I'm not banded yet (just getting the process started). But when/if I get banded I'll actually be going with Dr. Blackstone (who will be doing my mom's gastric later this month!), whom I see you went with. So, yay!

Hi, JennyLynn,

I live in Glendale and also have Dr. Blackstone. Ot would be nice to get Glendale bandsters together once in awhile. The support group in Scottsdale just does not fit in my schedule. I would love to get together and complain or Celebrate the good things.

I agree. We should set something up in the Phoenix, Glendale area. I would love to meet some new people with the band! Please let me know if you guys are interested and I will try and come up with something.... we could have our own little support group maybe once a month? What do you guys say?

:scared2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
